Time Zone conversion
The earth is a big place, and it is a different time everywhere all around the world. So even though a lunar phase is occurring at a split instant up in the cosmos, in order to find out what time it occurs in your particular location, you need to convert the time given for the general lunar phases from the ready reckoner or other lunar calendar to your particular time zone.
You can either do this manually by following the instructions below or go to the Time Zone Converter, a web based application that performs the calcualtion for you.
Greenwich Mean Time or GMT or Universal Time (UT) has been chosen as the 0 point.
Greenwich Mean Time = 0 hours.
Every other location in the world is compared to GMT and has a standard number of hours that are either added or subtracted to the GMT time.
